What AzDA can do to help your career or practice grow

Patients don’t grow on trees, especially in this economy. That’s why we developed one of the most popular “Find a dentist” online resources in Arizona. AzDA’s “Find an Arizona Dentist” gets over 2,500 visits per month from real people looking for a dentist. With reports showing 70% of Arizonans using the Internet to find a dentist, how much business could you gain if you were listed with us?

Here's the bottom line—just one referral from our “Find an Arizona Dentist” would pay for your annual dues.

Just started a practice, or looking to buy one?

Don't just 'hope' you'll be successful

Ever feel dental school didn't prepare you for the business side of running a practice? You aren't alone. Chances are, you are learning as you go, or just hoping for a smooth transition. Either way, you're taking a huge gamble with your success—you know better than that.

You need an immediate competitive advantage—you need AzDA’s THEOS program (REAL, practical business insights that you didn't learn in dental school). Mentors attend each session, so you receive invaluable one-on-one insider info that would normally cost you thousands. This is an exclusive member benefit for AzDA members, so become a member, and then get in on the THEOS program.

AzDA legislative advocacy puts money directly into your pockets

In the last year, Governor Brewer signed our bill that gave BODEX the authority to LOWER your BODEX license fees. In response to that, BODEX lowered your license fees by $50.

In fact, AzDA scored a sweep in the 2011 Legislative Session: eight bills and eight successes! On your behalf, AzDA:

Devotes 8.8% of ADA and 15.4% of AzDA Dues percentage of dues revenue to lobbying efforts for organized dentistry in Arizona.

Sends a leadership delegation to both the Arizona and U.S. Capitol to develop resilient, on-going relations with key legislators.

Through ArDPAC, the Arizona Dental Political Action Committee, provides campaign support for elected officials who understand the importance of dentistry.

Is a constant advocate on legislative issues on the local, state and national level that directly affect you as a dental professional and small business.

Keeps you up-to-date on issues critical to your practice, like changes in laws and regulations that can expose you to risk for government fines, penalties or licensure action.

Works to prohibit the capping of fees.

Without AzDA’s advocacy efforts on your behalf, members are forced to deal with regulatory issues on their own, and may often have to engage legal counsel at considerable expense. AzDA’s expertise is as close as an email or a phone call to guide you through the complex maze of a regulatory or BODEX issue. Every day you see forces that are attempting to compromise dentistry in Arizona and across the Nation. Who but AzDA and the ADA will stand between you and those forces? Stand with us and keep your membership active.

Who's going to help you when a complaint is filed?
AzDA members know someone has their back

No matter how skilled you are, having a complaint filed against you is always a possibility. In fact, the number of complaints filed at BODEX are on the rise. What do you do if a complaint is filed against you? Who do you call? Who’s going to have your back?

If you were an AzDA member, you could call us for guidance through a complex regulatory or BODEX issue. Furthermore, if you were an AzDA member, you wouldn’t have to go through BODEX. You could use our Peer Review Dispute Resolution benefit, where complaints are confidentially reviewed by volunteer dentists. Peace of mind, and an experienced team when you need them—what’s that worth when the “unthinkable” happens?

Endorsed by AzDA Services that include exclusive discounts on office supplies, merchant credit card fees, new patient marketing, and much more!
